Later they open up the phone lines and take calls discussing concerns with Hyun-jin Ryu in the early going, the Yankees standing in the AL East, and umpiring in the game after a questionable performance from home plate umpire Jeff Nelson in Saturday’s TOR-OAK game (26:08).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
